Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Summary
SBA's FY2012 Budget request is $985 million, a 45 percent decrease from 2010 enacted funding, which included $962 million in supplemental appropriations. Excluding supplemental funding, the 2012 request is $161 million higher primarily due to increased estimated subsidy costs. The FY12 request for administrative costs drops $19 million compared to FY11 request.
* Misc. includes Inspector General, Surety Bond Guarantee, Office of Advocacy, and Unrequested Projects
** Includes Recovery Act extensions and Small Business Jobs Act funding
Savings and cuts from SBA's budget include:
(-$20 million) through more efficient modernization of SBA's Loan Management and Accounting Systems
(-$10 million) reduction of support to Small Business Development Centers.
(-$8 million) through elimination of a duplicative technical assistance program (PRIME).
(-$8 million) in savings due to reduction to 850 in core staff of disaster employees, but not on-call reservists.
(-$1 million) by eliminating a duplicative Drug-Free Workplace program.
The two largest requested increases in budget authority are:
(+$132 million) in loan subsidy to make new loans, and to account for higher than estimated historical default rates in part due to loans made based on inflated collateral such as real estate.
(+$91 million) for Disaster Loan Program due to a significant decrease in carryover funding from prior years.
Smaller funding requests include efforts to promote small business contracting and root out fraud, waste, and abuse from contracting programs.
Growing Businesses and Creating Jobs
SBA's FY 2012 request will continue to strengthen SBA programs and resources to meet the needs of millions of entrepreneurs and small business owners who drive American competitiveness, innovation, and economic growth.
Capital – Support for $27 billion in Small Business Capital
$130 million in subsidy will support $16.5 billion in 7(a) loans
$82 million in subsidy will support $7.5 billion in 504 loans
$3.8 million in subsidy will support $25 million in Microloans
$3 billion in Small Business Investment Company debentures will support innovative, high-growth firms.
Contracting – Supporting nearly $100 billion in contracts to small businesses
$4 million to implement the President's Small Business Contracting Task Force recommendations.
$3.5 million to improve contracting opportunities for women-owned small businesses and to expand outreach and training in the HUBZone program.
Counseling – Free mentoring and coaching for over 1 million entrepreneurs
$103 million for about 900 Small Business Development Centers
$14 million to support about 110 Women's Business Centers
$7 million to support about 370 SCORE chapters
$3 million to expand Emerging Leaders – an intensive training program with a track record of increasing revenues for small businesses and creating jobs.
Disaster Assistance
SBA provides critical support for businesses, homeowners and renters affected by disaster. The FY2012 budget request will support $1.1 billion in direct lending.
The FY2012 request represents consistent funding from previous years. The apparent $91 million increase is a result of there no longer being any unobligated balances available to carry over from prior years.
Regional Innovation Clusters
To support regional growth and job creation, $12 million is requested for public-private partnerships focusing on "clusters" - geographic concentrations of businesses, suppliers, service providers and associated institutions in a particular field.
Meeting the needs of Today's and Tomorrow's Small Businesses
This budget continues to place a high priority on investing in the agency's people and technology to ensure SBA is in the best position to deliver its core programs and services.
Human Resources
The budget requests 24 new employees, 18 of whom will be charged with oversight and reducing potential for waste, fraud and abuse. The remainder will improve acquisition and procurement practices.
This budget also supports continued management training, mentoring, succession planning and other human capital initiatives. The agency will also focus on performance management, recruiting and retaining exceptional talent, and reducing time-to-hire.

A really nice story! I first saw Lenny in concert in London at Wembley Arena in Nov 91'. I went with some friends from college. We left home at 6:30 a.m. and took a 3 hr train journey to London, then stood in a queue for hours and hours in the freezing cold until we could go in. As soon as Lenny came out on stage and started playing, he blew me away! His magic ; that is his songs, just hypnotised me. I was well and truly hooked! I went to his concert this May in Valencia and he did it again! He will never lose that magical touch.
It has been a pleasure to read your story. Lenny has such a positive energy that connects with the different feelings of his fans. Once you have enjoyed the first live show, you become his fan forever. No matter age, nationality, genre, religion ... Mr. Lenny Kravitz is one of our good angels. Love to everybody, Míriam.
My first time was in Den Haag in Holland, he stil had the dreads. I was very young and it was so great.. i went to many concerts then, in that period. Prince, Michael Jackson, Phill Collins and others.... But Lenny you are the Man.. Last time was so great in ahoy, only the public was not so hmm that was because of the time i guess (started 1 o clock at night) LOVE


text: Poultry Farmer Allowed to Continue with EPA Lawsuit Suit against EPA for NPDES permit issue will continue; AFBF says briefing will begin by June 1 Published on: Apr 24, 2013 A federal court Monday rejected efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency to dismiss a case brought by West Virginia poultry farmer Lois Alt, challenging an EPA order to obtain a Clean Water Act discharge permit for stormwater runoff from her farm. Though the EPA withdrew the order, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia ruled that the case should go forward to clarify for the benefit of Alt and other farmers whether, as EPA contends, discharge permits are required for "ordinary precipitation runoff from a typical farmyard." Alt filed suit against EPA in June 2012 after the agency threatened her with $37,500 in fines each time stormwater came into contact with poultry dust and feathers on the ground outside of her poultry houses as a result of farm operations. EPA also threatened separate fines of $37,500 per day if Alt failed to apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for such stormwater discharges.Suit against EPA for NPDES permit issue will continue; AFBF says briefing will begin by June 1 Alt responded with a lawsuit challenging the EPA order. The American Farm Bureau Federation and the West Virginia Farm Bureau intervened as co-plaintiffs with Alt to help resolve the issue for the benefit of other poultry and livestock farmers. EPA withdrew its order in December 2012, about six weeks before briefing on the legal issues was set to begin. The same month, five environmental groups, including Waterkeeper Alliance, Center for Food Safety and Food & Water Watch, moved to join the lawsuit on the side of EPA. In opposing EPA's motion to dismiss, Alt and Farm Bureau argued that farmers remain vulnerable to similar EPA orders, because EPA stands by its contention that the Clean Water Act statutory exemption for "agricultural stormwater" does not apply to stormwater from the farmyard at a concentrated animal feeding operation. The court agreed, noting that "[t]his Court's ultimate decision on the merits will benefit all parties, including EPA and many thousands of farmers, by clarifying the extent of federal CWA 'discharge' liability and permit requirements for ordinary precipitation runoff from a typical farmyard." "Ms. Alt has courageously taken on EPA not just for her own benefit, but for the benefit of other farmers," said Stallman. "She refused to back down from her principles despite the best efforts of EPA and environmental groups. We are pleased that the court agreed that the stakes are high for all poultry and livestock farmers and this issue should be resolved." In addition to denying EPA's motion to dismiss, the court allowed the environmental groups to intervene and ordered briefing on the Alt and Farm Bureau claims to begin by June 1.

The emergence of the Internet has transformed the practice of the humanities and social sciences—more slowly than some may have hoped, but more profoundly than others may have expected. Digital cultural heritage resources are a fundamental dataset for the humanities: these resources, combined with computer networks and software tools, now shape the way that scholars discover and make sense of the human record, while also shaping the way their findings are communicated to students, colleagues, and the general public. Even greater transformations are on the horizon, as digitized cultural heritage comes into its own. But we will not see anything approaching complete digitization of the record of human culture, removal of legal and technical barriers to access, or revolutionary change in the academic reward system unless the individuals, institutions, enterprises, organizations, and agencies who are this generation's stewards of that record make it their business to ensure that these things happen.
The organized use of networks and computation for the practice of science and engineering was the subject of a 2003 report to the National Science Foundation (NSF), Revolutionizing Science and Engineering through Cyberinfrastructure. 1In both the NSF report and this one, the term cyberinfrastructure is meant to denote the layer of information, expertise, standards, policies, tools, and services that are shared broadly across communities of inquiry but developed for specific scholarly purposes:cyberinfrastructure is something more specific than the network itself, but it is something more general than a tool or a resource developed for a particular project, a range of projects, or, even more broadly, for a particular discipline. So, for example, digital history collections and the collaborative environments in which to explore and analyze them from multiple disciplinary perspectives might be considered cyberinfrastructure, whereas fiber-optic cables and storage area networks or basic communication protocols would fall below the line for cyberinfrastructure.
Recognizing that a revolution similar to the transformation of science and engineering addressed in the NSF report is inevitable for the humanities and the social sciences and that these disciplines have essential and distinct contributions to make in designing, building, and operating cyberinfrastructure, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) in 2004 appointed a Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences. This report reflects the reach of its sponsoring organization, the ACLS, by focusing on the needs of the humanities and nonnormative social sciences, that is, social sciences that are interpretive.
The ACLS Commission was charged with three tasks:
- To describe and analyze the current state of humanities and social science cyberinfrastructure
- To articulate the requirements and potential contributions of the humanities and social sciences in developing a cyberinfrastructure for information, teaching, and research
- To recommend areas of emphasis and coordination for the various agencies and institutions, public and private, that contribute to the development of this infrastructure
Commission members include humanities scholars, social scientists, administrators, and entrepreneurs from universities and organizations public and private, large and small. All were selected for their experience with digital technologies. The Commission's deliberations were informed by the testimony of scholars, librarians, museum directors, social scientists, representatives of government and private funding agencies, and many other people, gathered in a series of public meetings held in Washington, DC; New York City; Chicago; Berkeley; Los Angeles; and Baltimore during 2004; by national and international reports by other groups on related missions; by advisors to the Commission, selected for particularly relevant expertise; and by responses to the draft report, which was made available for public comment from November 2005 through January 2006.
The Commission heard from those who wanted more advanced software applications, greater bandwidth, and more access to expertise in information technology. We also heard from many who spoke about the potential for cyberinfrastructure to enhance teaching, facilitate research collaboration, and increase public access to (and fair use of) the record of human cultures across time and space. As a result, this report addresses the particular needs and contributions of those directly engaged in teaching, research, and cultural work; but it also places those needs and contributions in a larger context, namely, the public good that these activities, collectively, produce.
As more personal, social, and professional time is spent online, it will become increasingly important to have an online environment that cultivates the richness of human experience, the diversity of human languages and cultures, and the full range of human creativity. Such an environment will best emerge if its design can benefit from the strengths of the humanities and social sciences: clarity of expression, the ability to uncover meaning even in scattered or garbled information, and centuries of experience in organizing knowledge. These strengths are especially important as the volume of digital resources grows, as complexity increases, and as we struggle to preserve and make sense of billions of sources of information.
Many who work in the humanities and social sciences have come to recognize that knowledge in these disciplines is on the edge of some fundamental changes, and that it would be better to approach these changes with specific goals in mind. This report suggests what some of those goals might be. The Introduction answers a few fundamental questions: What is cyberinfrastructure? What do we mean when we refer to the humanities and social sciences? And what are the distinctive needs and contributions of these disciplines in cyberinfrastructure?
As the title of this report is meant to indicate, the online world is a new cultural commonwealth in which knowledge, learning, and discovery can flourish. Our aim, therefore, is to show how best to achieve this cultural commonwealth for the betterment of all.
Chapter 1 makes the case for the transformative potential of an improved cyberinfrastructure with respect to the preservation and availability of our cultural heritage. A coordinated effort to build cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and social sciences, the Commission argues, will benefit the public and the specialist alike by providing access to the breadth and depth of the cultural record.
Chapter 2 explores the constraints that must be overcome in creating such a cyberinfrastructure—insufficient training, outdated policies, unsatisfactory tools, incomplete resources, and inadequate access. These constraints are not primarily technological but, instead, cultural, economic, legal, and institutional. They include: the loss, fragility, and inaccessibility of the cultural record; the complexity of the cultural record; intellectual property restrictions on the use of the cultural record; lack of incentives to experiment with cyberinfrastructure in the humanities and social sciences; uncertainty about the future mechanisms, forms, and economics of scholarly publishing and scholarly communication more generally; insufficient resources, will, and leadership to build cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and social sciences.
Chapter 3 provides a framework for action. It first articulates five goals for an effective cyberinfrastructure, namely, that it should
- be accessible as a public good;
- be sustainable;
- provide interoperability;
- facilitate collaboration;
- support experimentation.
In chapter 3, the Commission also recommends the following measures necessary to achieve these goals (and to meet the challenges described in chapter 2):
1. Invest in cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and social sciences, as a matter of strategic priority.
Addressed to: Universities; federal and private funding agencies
Implementation: Determine the amount and efficacy of funding that now goes to support developing cyberinfrastructure for humanities and social sciences from all sources; through annual meetings and ongoing consultation, coordinate the goals this funding aims to achieve; and aim to increase both funding and coordination over the next five years, including commercial investments that are articulated with the educational community's agenda.
2. Develop public and institutional policies that foster openness and access.
Addressed to: University presidents, boards of trustees, provosts, and counsels; university presses; funding agencies; libraries; scholarly societies; Congress
Implementation: The Association of American Universities, in collaboration with other organizations such as the National Humanities Alliance, the Scholarly Publishing and Research Coalition, and the National Academy of Arts and Sciences, should take a leadership role in coordinating the engagement of the humanities and social sciences with issues of information policy.
3. Promote cooperation between the public and private sectors.
Addressed to: Universities; federal and private funding agencies; Internet-oriented companies
Implementation: A private foundation, a federal funding agency, an Internet business, and one or more university partners should cosponsor recurring annual summits to explore new models for commercial/nonprofit partnerships and to discuss opportunities for the focused creation of digital resources with high educational value and high public impact.
4. Cultivate leadership in support of cyberinfrastructure from within the humanities and social sciences.
Addressed to: Senior scholars; scholarly societies; university administrators; senior research librarians and research library organizations; academic publishing organizations; federal funding agencies; private foundations
Implementation: Increase federal and foundation funding to one or more scholarly organizations in the area of humanities and social science computing so that they can work with member organizations of the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and others to establish priorities for cyberinfrastructure development, raise awareness of research and partnership opportunities among scholars, and coordinate the evolution of research products from basic to applied.
5. Encourage digital scholarship.
Addressed to: Universities; research libraries; the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH); the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA); the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS); the National Academies; the National Archives; major private foundations; major scholarly societies; individual leaders in the humanities and social sciences
Implementation: Federal funding agencies and private foundations should establish programs that address workforce issues in digital humanities and social sciences, from short-term workshops to postdoctoral and research fellowships to the cultivation of appropriately trained computer professionals. The ACLS should lead its member organizations in developing uniform policies with respect to digital scholarship in tenure and promotion.
6. Establish national centers to support scholarship that contributes to and exploits cyberinfrastructure.
Addressed to: Universities; Congress; state legislatures; public funding agencies; private foundations
Implementation: Universities should develop national and international fellowships at existing humanities and social science computing centers, and develop new centers with such programs, with a combination of university, federal, and private funding.
7. Develop and maintain open standards and robust tools.
Addressed to: Funding agencies, public and private; scholars; librarians; curators; publishers; technologists
Implementation: University consortia such as the Committee on Institutional Cooperation should license the SourceForge software and make it available to open-source developers in academic institutions. The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) should support the development, maintenance, and coordination of community-based standards such as the Text Encoding Initiative, Encoded Archival Description, Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard, and Visual Resources Data Standards. The National Science Foundation (NSF), the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the IMLS, and other funding agencies should support the development of tools for the analysis of digital content.
8. Create extensive and reusable digital collections.
Addressed to: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and other funding agencies, both public and private; scholars; research libraries and librarians; university presses; commercial publishers
Implementation: National centers with a focus on particular methods or disciplines can organize a certain amount of scholar-driven digitization. Library organizations and libraries should sponsor discipline-based focus groups to discuss priorities with respect to digitization. When priorities are established, these should be relayed to the organizers of annual meetings on commercial and nonprofit partnerships, and they should be considered in the distribution of grant funds by federal agencies and private foundations. Funding to support the maintenance and coordination of standards will improve the reusability of digital collections. The NEA, NEH, and IMLS should work together to promote collaboration and skills development—through conferences, workshops, and/or grant programs—for the creation, management, preservation, and presentation of reusable digital collections, objects, and products.
Finally, in light of these requirements and in order to realize the promise of cyberinfrastructure for research and education, the Commission calls for specific investments—not just of money but also of leadership—from scholars and scholarly societies; librarians, archivists, and curators; university provosts and university presses; the commercial sector; government; and private foundations.

Extract from the report. What food was provided? (ED 50/8)
You can drag the image around to explore it.
Breakfast consisted every day of oatmeal porridge with milk and treacle, followed by bread and margarine or dripping, with milk, hot or cold, to drink. In Appendix I. will be found a table showing the quantity eaten on the average by each child, the food value in protied and fat and the cost. It will be noticed that oatmeal porridge was given to the children every day. I ascertained from the children that only one of them was in the habit of eating porridge, and he was a Scotch child. At the first breakfast 13 of them refused to eat it; the next day there were only 2, and from that day it was eaten and enjoyed by all.
It was originally intended to have varied the diet for breakfast but on any occasion when this was done the children were so disappointed at having no porridge, that practically no alteration in the menu was made. A more satisfactory breakfast, from the food value point of view probably cannot be given for the money.
If cocoa be used instead of milk the nutritional value will be lowered in proportion as less milk is taken, there being but little actual nourishment in the small amount of cocoa used. The bread may be partly replaced by wholemeal currant loaf, but this will cost almost as much again as the equivalent quantity of bread. An egg, of course, adds very greatly to the cost of the meal, even though less milk be taken.
On the question of the dinners, a very large amount of time and energy was spent on experimenting by Miss Cuff, and to her is entirely due the credit of the excellent menus provided. The problem it was desired to solve was that of providing a good variety of two-course dinners, which should be practical as regards their preparation and serving, should be up to a certain standard as regards the proportion of protied and fat, would cost between 1d and 1½d for the material used and would be enjoyed by the children.
Seventeen dinners fulfulling the above conditions were arranged and the recipes for these are given in full by Miss Cuff, in the Appendix. On these recipes Miss Cuff has expended much thought, and the success of them depends on careful attention to detail. It is true that many of the meals suggested are not such as one is accustomed to find in the ordinary cottage home, and it might be objected that some of them involve too much thought and time to be used in the homes of the children. It would seem, however, that if such be the case, the fault lies with the upbringing of, and with the conditions under which many of the people live, rather than with the recipes.

Animal Of The Month- Wildlife Learning Center

KTLA 5 Reporter
Animal Of The Month
Story Summary
Animal Of The Month
Gayle Anderson was live in Sylmar at the Wildlife Learning Center, which is inviting folks to learn about its Animal Of The Month: the lynx. The Canadian lynx is a relatively small wild animal that typically weighs between 15 and 25 pounds. On average, males weigh slightly more than females. The largest populations of Canadian lynx are found throughout Canada, in western Montana, and in nearby parts of Idaho and Washington. There are small populations in New England and Utah and possibly Oregon, Wyoming, and Colorado. Lynx usually live in mature forests with dense undergrowth but can also be found in more open forests, rocky areas, or tundra.
Lynx are adapted for a cold, northern climate and develop a thick winter coat. They have large furry paws that help to distribute their weight and prevent them from sinking when moving across soft snow. Canadian lynx are strict carnivores and only eat meat, such as the snowshoe hares.
Although similar to Bobcats, Lynx have different physical characteristics. The Natural Resources Research Institute at the University of Minnesota offers the following ways to distinguish between the two. A Lynx's tail has a black tip all around, giving the impression of being dipped in ink. In contrast, a Bobcat's tail is striped with black bands towards the end and has a black tip. Lynx also have longer ear tufts and much larger feet than Bobcats. Although not a physical characteristic, Bobcats are more aggressive and can be found throughout the United States.
The Wildlife Learning Center rescues wildlife and educates the public about the environment through onsite and outreach programs such as school assemblies, classroom visits, educational birthday parties, children's parties, animal parties, reptile parties, animal shows, summer camps, and winter camps. WLC currently cares for over 200 individual rescued animals.
The Center's outreach programs serve the greater Los Angeles area including Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, Sylmar, San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, Valencia, Granada Hills, Northridge, Reseda, Nan Nuys, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Pasadena, Glendale, Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Malibu.
By the way, WLC is looking for generous donors to help purchase a heated structure for its rescued Macaws that will be equipped with misters, lights, and ventilation. The WLC's Macaws need this heated enclosure for their night quarters and for cold days.
WLC is open 7 days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $6 for children (13 and under), seniors and veterans with I.D. and $7 for adults. Children ages 2 and under are admitted for FREE.
The Wildlife Learning Center is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Year's Day. Additionally, the Center maybe closed or have limited general admission hours due to specific events/fundraisers a couple of times a year. Please visit the website or call (818) 362-8711 to confirm any closures.

Styles P – Get Your Dream Smash LyricsFollow
And a vest nigga, Big Fonz comin at you nigga
Think you a gangsta nigga? I eat you boy
Spit you out and throw you back up nigga
Quick turn the lights out 'fore you get your dreams smashed
[Styles P]
Let's go Poobs
S.P. the gunfire is rapid
And I don't talk on the phone just in case that the feds tap it
Fuck with me, you a lame, it's plain the game backwards
I'ma put your brain where your front doormat is
With the pump or the 9-M-M
P harder than jail and your time ain't end
Yeah, it's the Ghost motherfucker
Cop P's off a block close to Post motherfucker
And I went to Broadway for coke motherfucker
And the block close to Preston for the dope motherfucker
And I can name spots that I robbed, work I put in
Case you thought that I was not on the job
Damn, you frontin for who nigga?
Big Mike, Green Lan', Kay Slay or the Clue nigga
Fuck it keep frontin cause the fans gon' believe you nigga
'Til a real nigga catch you then he leave you nigga
Me I'm in the streets of New York, me and my gun
Run up on P I'll shoot your shoes off
Frontin nigga, pull your Coupe off
Ice your watch out, floss stacks when they pullin them dice out
Matter fact pop Crist', tell that bitch what your life 'bout
Invite her to the studio to see what you write 'bout
Sheeit, but I'll be comin round the corner nigga
Two guns up, you a motherfuckin goner nigga
Shit, I'ma show you how to wrong a nigga
Write a nigga swish on his face, straight Nike a nigga

Kumble confident of India winning final
Anil Kumble believes that India has a great chance to beat Pakistan in the grand finale of the Twenty20 World Cup in Johannesburg in South Africa on Monday.
"Considering our form, enthusiasm and the manner in which we've defeated strong teams like South Africa and Australia on our way to the final, there is no reason why we shouldn't beat Pakistan in the final. We've already won against Pakistan in the earlier round and it should boost our players' confidence further," the ace leg-spinner told rediff.com on Monday.
Asked whether any one player is going to be the trump-card for India in the final, Kumble said, "You can't single out a particular player and say he is going to be the trump card. No, it's not possible. The fact is the entire team has played very well in the Twenty20 World Cup and it's because of the sustained collective effort of our players that we've made it to the final."
"All the batsmen, not just Yuvraj Singh, have performed brilliantly. They've been right on the target in terms of shot selection and have been very consistent as well. The bowlers, too, have bowled extremely well throughout the championship and showed a lot of character even when the going has gone a bit tough."
The country's highest wicket-taker in Test cricket reiterated that India should have no problems whatsoever in winning the final.
"We've great chances to win, all things considered. It would be wonderful to win the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup," emphasised Kumble.

How Prince George's was involved in the 2002 sniper attacks
As October went on, seven more people were shot — five fatally — in Virginia, Montgomery County and in Prince George's County.
Prince George's figured heavily in this nightmare 10 years ago. First of all, John Allen Muhammad was probably in the area seeking his ex-wife Mildred, who was living in Clinton. She had escaped from him, taking their three children.
On Sept. 5, in Clinton, Paul LaRuffa, owner of Margellina's Pizzeria, was leaving his restaurant when he was shot six times at close range. The shooter stole his laptop and $3,500 in restaurant receipts, which was used to buy a Chevy Caprice. The laptop was found in the Caprice after the snipers were arrested.
On Oct. 7, 13-year-old Iran Brown was shot and seriously wounded as he was entering Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie.
On Oct. 22, bus driver Conrad Johnson, of Oxon Hill, was shot and killed as he stood on the top step of his Ride-On bus in Montgomery County.
On Oct. 24, Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were caught sleeping in their Caprice at a Western Maryland rest stop. They were tried, and Muhammad was executed in Virginia on Nov. 10, 2009. Malvo, a juvenile at the time of the shootings, is serving life without parole.
This week I drove past what was Margellina's Pizzeria on Stuart Road. It has a new name, but the windows are covered up. I don't know if it's open.
She loved to play Bingo
On Jan. 9, 1943, at St. Peter's Church in Washington, she married Harold Nanney who had come from Mississippi to live with his uncle on a neighboring farm. The newly-weds lived first in Washington and later on Deer Pond Lane in Camp Springs. By the time they moved to 512 Maple Road in Morningside in 1953, the family included their young daughter Peggy. Harold worked for McCoy Construction Company, which built St. Philip's Rectory.
Melma was a founding member of St. Philip's and a member of the Sodality. She regularly used her cooking talents to provide cakes for parish bake sales. She was an avid bingo player at Waysons Corner, or anywhere, often with her friend Mary Dean.
She was preceded in death by her husband Harold, who died in 1973, and by nine siblings: Myrtle, Edna, Fannie, Brandt, Ollie, Bob, Albert, Jo and Minnie. She is survived by her daughter Margrette "Peggy" Nanney and her sister-in-law Ruth Nanney who has lived next door to her since 1964. Father Edward Hegnauer celebrated Mass of Christian Burial at St. Philip's, and Melma is now buried with her husband Harold, at Cedar Hill Cemetery,
Coming up
The monthly Morningside Town Meeting will be on Oct. 16, at 8 p.m. All Morningsiders should be there.
Making Pennsylvania Avenue safer
Suggestions include a mid-block crosswalk between Donnell Drive and Walters Lane, better street lighting, continuous sidewalks and narrower lanes. If funding becomes available, work may start in 2014.
Happy anniversary to Daisy and Ralph Young, their 59th on Oct. 15; Russ and Mary Mitchell, their 67th on Oct. 17; and Michael and Anita (Fulton) Freeman, their 32nd on Oct. 18.

Motherboard: Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR
CPU: Intel Q9400
Graphics: Nvidia 9500 512MB
Wireless: D-Link 650 (DWA-547)
i've successfully installed iATKOS v7 and everything is working, except for the wireless card. I've tried the Apple IO80211Family.kext from 10.5.7, and an earlier version from 10.4.8. I've also tried AirportAtheros.kext from Atheros.pkg. None of them will even recognise that the card exists.
I have also installed all the kexts from the UD3LR_Pack.zip file i found from some post on insanelymac.
lspci shows the card as:
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. Unknown device [168c:0029] (rev 01)
the DWA-547 is inserted into the first PCI slot in the system.
System Profiler says "This computer does not appear to have any PCI cards installed" for "Hardware/PCI Cards", and "No Information found" for "Network/Airport Card".
is this a problem with the Atheros driver or the Airport driver? or is it a problem with the PCI code?
I've run out of ideas on things to try...anyone have any ideas on how I can get this working? I'm happy to reinstall if necessary.
btw, i've also tried iDeneb v1.5.1 with exactly the same result. Ditto after I upgraded iDeneb to 10.5.8 with the combo upgrade package.

Graduate Programs - Elementary and Secondary Education
The M.Ed. program in Elementary Education and Secondary Education (Curriculum, Assessment, and Instruction) is designed for elementary, middle level and high school teachers who, while continuing a career in classroom teaching, want to assume responsibility and leadership roles to enhance learning and development of students while addressing state and federal standards in the areas of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. The M.Ed. program is offered both on campus and through Graduate Outreach. A minimum of 33 credits is required.

- Three electives approved by their advisers (courses in technology, in special education and in content areas are strongly recommended).
The M.S. degree program in Elementary Education and Secondary Education (Curriculum, Assessment, and Instruction) is a thesis program intended for practicing teachers who are considering continuing graduate education to pursue a doctoral program in Curriculum, Assessment, and Instruction and/or related fields. The M.S. program is offered only on campus.

Other requirements include a three-course concentration approved by the adviser and one elective, approved by the thesis committee.

The program includes a minimum of 15 hours in social studies and professional education courses, 12 hours in social sciences, and six hours of electives.

New scarf! I love a good sale. I am also still in love with my new earrings from this Etsy shop.
Off to watch the next disc in the National Parks: America's Best Idea series with our friends Neal and Anna, who are thankfully as enthusiastic about Ken Burns documentaries as we are. (That is, VERY enthusiastic.)
Yep, my hope is that we all fall in the "Geek" swath of this Venn diagram, which may be the best Venn diagram ever constructed!
